Slutsk
civil activist Vital Amialkovich is appealing a fine imposed by the
administrative commission of the district’s executive committee back on 6
September.

The appeal
lodged with Slutsk District Court argues that the verdict is illegal and
groundless, as the activists claims he did not commit the offence he was punished
for. Apart from that, Vital Amialkovich says the sentence is based on testimony
from an unknown policeman. The administrative commission refused to name the
witnesses, saying that the evidence was provided by the district’s police
department.
